Jerry Barrack’s Celery Farm Pix
My buddy Jerry Barrack was the first photographer to make The Celery Farm Nature Preserve his home base -- back…
My wife planted this rose mallow along the stream by our backyard two years ago.
I said it would get washed away because of our chronic flooding problems.
I guess I showed her!
(Note: I has previously misidentified this as a swamp mallow. I sure learn something every ding-dong day!)
Tom Burr wrote to me: I think Jim’s “swamp mallow” is a Halberd-leaved Rose Mallow, by the shape of the leaves. And I am in agreement with Tom!!
LOL — Rock on Patty!
